Celestial Garden
After having deployed moonGARDEN into so many cities we discovered that the shadow making mechanism was just as interesting than the composition result on the sphere. We added portholes to the large sphere to allow visitors to see how the shadows were being generated.
Along with an elaborate miniature set, an electric train travels alongside the cutouts and projects large moving shadows on the surface.
​
The number of spheres required to have a complete composition is four (4). It is composed of 1 (one) 30’ sphere with portholes (also available with a 20' sphere), 1 (one) 10’ sphere, 1 (one) 8’ sphere, 1 (one) 6’ sphere. The 30’ sphere are displaying a light and shadow show. The spheres 10-8-6 are a light show only. The sound comes out of the 2 (two) spheres (10-8). When not in use, the spheres still remain in a night, idle, glowing mode.

Site Requirements
Spheres are exhibited as a group of four (4). A minimum of 600sqm is required for the layout. For any specific layout reviews, please contact us.
Acceptable slope tolerance is 1%, after what, the site will be required to provide wood platforms before installation, in order to level the ground where needed.
All on site irrigation system must be deactivated throughout installation / breakdown and the duration of the event.
For wet, muddy grounds, or rainy periods, pine thorns or straw must be laid out before installing the spheres, in order to absorb the water.
Spheres laid out on the grass, will leave yellow marks and disparities on the lawn due to the lack of sun and persistent weight for a certain amount of time.
For safety reasons, it is recommended to turn off the installation and deflate the spheres for winds over 60km/h.
Based on his experience and knowledge of the Site, the client shall mitigate any possible damage to the Artwork, resulting from special weather conditions.
On site security
During set-up and take-down, the site needs to be secured by temporary barriers. After what, the
installation must be supervised by at least 1 individual at all times (24/7).
During hours of inactivity of the event or exhibition, Celestial Garden must be set up to night idle
mode. Local teams will be trained for opening and closing procedures during installation. They
should have access to a cut-off switch at all times.
